Ive been in the same predicament last year & I actually bought a used Lexus. But after test driving the both of the cars, I choose the Audi (if thata my choice). The problem though is that after I researched that car I heard people talk shit about it after 60k miles, so its up to you.

What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, whats this roaring sound, wooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And whats this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! Thats it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!

audi > bmw

Get the Audi..

E46 owns the B6 in terms of driving dynamics. However the 325i is probably one of the biggest poseur vehicles in the world. Those who only want a propeller badge to look cool at the country club buy 325is. I have two friends with E46s, one with a 325Ci and another with a 330i. I've also had a short blast in a B6 A4 1.8T. It depends on what you're looking for. For me personally, if I were looking for a German sport sedan and my options came down to an E46 or a B6, I'd go with the E46 although I'd probably save up for the 3.0L M54. If all you want is a cruiser then it's pretty much up to you. RWD vs. FWD or AWD, natural aspiration vs. forced induction, etc...

BMW

Audi = much more reliable but uglier shapes IMO

BMW = costy repair parts but good overall rating

I'd go with Audi on the long run

from a purely looks and style point of view, id go with audi. but on something like this, id do extensive research into both cars, reading user reviews, not reviews on their websites to see which is the better cars. 3/4 of the people voting on this poll, will purely go on looks, including me.

BMW - rear wheel drive, you know it makes sense!
